Baller rodltg2 Posted November 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 9, 2012 I saw the home lised on SIA. Looks amazing. But lake looks a bit funky and narrow. Anyone know this place? http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b265/rodltg2/sia21551img0.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b265/rodltg2/LAkeDow.jpg http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?topic=Search&category=Real_Estate&postid=21551 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rodltg2 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted November 9, 2012 Oh ok, I remember an article about it in WSM years back. Very cool, make sense that its kind of funky, I remember that it was an existing swamp or lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller estrom Posted November 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 9, 2012 Very cool place! I like the little "lakehouse" with sandy beach area. Nice set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted November 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 9, 2012 With over 9000 square feet & 80 acres, $2.1M seems like a hell of a deal for somebody with WAY more money than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Wish Posted November 10, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted November 10, 2012 Simply Stunning! and that does seem like a deal. Seems to be a strange shape though. Very long thin run to that north island. Would be interesting to see how the slalom course fits in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skiinxs Posted November 10, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 10, 2012 It is in the St. Louis area. The lake is extra long (2,300') and plenty wide, skis very nice. http://www.privatewaterskilakeestate.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skiinxs Posted November 17, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 17, 2012 Location................ actually I like the location, but it is only 5 miles down the road from my lake, I guess it just depends on your point of reference. Also, google earth just loaded new imagery for the area from 9/10/2012. It is MUCH better resolution. You can zoom in to see the slalom and jump course bouys and see that there is plenty of width for the slalom course. (The longer length makes it look narrow). Paste this in to the google earth search window to view: 39° 1'15.52"N 90°18'24.44"W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Brady Posted November 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 18, 2012 @OB. curious as to why this is not a good location? please elaborate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Brady Posted November 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 18, 2012 @skiinxs. Great google look. I have been skiing the course with my mouse for the last 15 minutes, wishing and dreaming it was mine! Based on how fast my google earth scanning feature was moving, I think I just skied 41 off with my mouse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GAJ0004 Posted November 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 20, 2012 Nice place! I would have my boat house attached to the back of my garage, and have a track system going from the water to the garage, that way I would never need to use a tow vehicle unless I was taking my boat to the marina for service. It would get the tracks powder coating in a green that matches the grass, and put patio stones in between them for a path down to the water.

Baller BraceMaker Posted November 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 21, 2012 @gaj0004 - only problem is that track is a great thing to kick. Very painful. Quite a few people have them up in our parts, as you need to pull everything out of the water, and the track units break down pretty easily into rail sections and support brackets. Being that we're talking dreaming anyhow, I would have an I beam gantry crane under a walk out deck over the whole works, with an electric winch to haul the boat up the track into garage.

Baller_ Wish Posted November 21, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted November 21, 2012 We had a boat house/garage built close to the shore on our home lake. 16 foot regular garage door and all. More like a bunker really, built into the tall bank with 4 block walls and a concrete roof (deck). The concrete floor was about 5 ft higher then the water. My dad built a track system and a cradle. At about 30 ft long and a good angle to the water, it worked great. Flip a switch and in or out it goes. Accept when the pin would occationally snap in the power winch system. Man did that boat make a hellova splash when it hit the water. I like pic boat houses better. but ours worked for 40 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skiinxs Posted November 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 21, 2012 Actually the building on the left is the boathouse, I can't imagine a better setup. Three stalls, electric door openers on all three, remote in the boat. http://cache.nebula.phx3.secureserver.net/obj/MDBERUE1MEI2RjIzNUE4Q0Y5Mzk6MTg5ZTFlMTIyODI2ZDlkZWI1Y2JmYzIwMjdhYTBiNWY= http://cache.nebula.phx3.secureserver.net/obj/MDBERUE1MEI2RjIzNUE4Q0Y5Mzk6ODA2ODlmODRkYzc4OGFmYmZhZDU5YmUyMDlmMWRjNGI= http://cache.nebula.phx3.secureserver.net/obj/MDBERUE1MEI2RjIzNUE4Q0Y5Mzk6NjJjYzA4ZTA1ZDY5MTEyNWNhNDhhNTMzZGI1YzhiMTM= privateskilakeestate.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GAJ0004 Posted November 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 22, 2012 I like the set up in the photos above too, but boat houses are not permitted on Lake Latonka. You are not allowed to have any outbuildings, shelters, or anything within 75 feet of the waters edge. The setup above is perfect if you are on a lake that does not freeze. If I were putting in a track system I would bury the posts in the ground so the tracks would only be an inch or two off the ground. I would surround them with patio stones so you could walk near them without tripping over them. We have a roll-a-dock and a shorestation lift. We don't get the intense sun even in the summer like you get in the south. A boathouse in the south I can see is a necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted November 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 22, 2012 @gaj0004 - I know that at lakes in Canada, and in areas where there is a lot ice, people will put an aerator at the end of their dock to keep the ice from forming around the posts. In the beating sun, your right, a house or shelter is nice to protect from all the UV rays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted November 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 22, 2012 All of us on our Lake here in Orlando use the "Touchless Boat Covers" in our boat houses. Just push a button for the cover to go up or down. Plus a fan inside keeps the boat dry after use. http://www.touchlesscover.com/boat-covers.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skiinxs Posted November 23, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2012 I agree that the touchless covers are great, here are a couple photos of mine, but it pales in comparison to having a three stall fully enclosed boat garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GAJ0004 Posted November 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 29, 2012 I like the touchless boat covers for the south. I would put one of those on my shorestation, but the extra weight would make it too difficult for me to get my lift out of the water in the fall. I would still use the roll-a-dock in the south on a natural lake, that way you can move your dock in or out if the water level changes. Lake Latonka is man made with a spillway, so if we get a heavy rain, the level only stays above normal for a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GAJ0004 Posted November 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 29, 2012 Check out boatlifthelper.com. If you have to move your lift it will come in handy, but it costs $1400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted December 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted December 3, 2012 @Gaj0004 - Heck if you have a boat on the lift anyway.... just get a ratcheting come along, lower your craddle all the way, ratchet the lift up using the bouyancy of your boat, then put the wheel kit on, lower it back down and tow it up on shore. Pier pleasure lifts will sell you a post to stick in the ground on shore so you can use a rope strung through it and you pull the lift up with your boat. Or you can use my method which requires a high lift offroading jack and wheel kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GAJ0004 Posted December 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted December 3, 2012 @bracemaker. My lift is pretty easy to take out. I use a 4x4 timber as a crowbar and push it. Once I get it close to shore I use an electric winch on the back of a utility trailer to pull it up on shore. Our docks have wheels. The winch pulls them out all the way.
